1. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Not good on MacOS. Disclaimer: Using on MacOS. For an app that is supposed to help me focus, I had to click a million things before starting. I would like to keep the map visible on the screen while I work, reminding me to stay focused. And behaving like an in-flight map on the TV. But the app won’t resize to be small. After I finished my first journey, I would have liked an easy way to start my next journey from my landing site. This way, I could travel contiguously, layover-style. Instead, I will uninstall. Nice idea but needs a lot of improvements.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Deceptive pricing. I always rate apps that force me to make payments before trying the app the lowest rate possible. I need to try the app first before giving any money. At the beginning, this app will show a lifetime plan for $33. If you closed the price window, you will get a pop-up for 50% discount for the lifetime but it will also show that the lifetime price is $49.99.

   Sucks 100%. I deleted the app but it’s still charging me for the annual subscriptions.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Need more improvement.. I love the app so far, but specially on Mac, iCloud syncing isn’t working and kept being “Uploading”, buttons keep flickering when moving map around.

   大哥，这么久了还不支持更改出发地？. 谁坐飞机都从一个起点出发啊？之前说会有成就系统之类的可以更改，到现在都快一年了，也开通用户付费这么久了，还没做上？这个功能有什么难度吗还是

   Crashes immediately. Crashes immediately on macOS 15.1, version 1.5.10

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   app doesnt work. i’ve downloaded the app and everytime i open it the app just crashes … not the best look & i was excited to try it to 😭

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App crashes when I enter it. So there’s a bug when I enter the app it just shows a low quality text, and then it crashes, there is nothing wrong I’m at iOS 26 and you guys said it supports but it’s still doing the same thing, open the app, low quality text, and crashes, I just downloaded this app

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   The app keeps crashing. When I open the app on my iPhone 15 it just crashes I tried reinstalling restarting and nothing works

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App is not open. Every time I open the app, it immediately closes. Please fix this. I’d love to use this.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No family sharing. I don’t understand how I am forced to unlock this app twice because I got a personal and a work device?

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    why pay for subscription?. I got this app to help me study and focus, and when I saw the feature to be able to look out the window, I thought it was soooo cool. So I paid $20 to be able to see what’s happening on the flight, only to find out it’s the same moving picture and not even custom to the individual flight. And it wasn’t even the oremium subscription, so I just wasted $20 for a video I probably could have found in youtube, but this one is cropped and has an airplane window. If it would be personalized to each flight, this would be my favorite app ever. I just wanted to look out the window and see the ground and the ocean, not some replaying clouds in a sunset.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Relaxation. It’s so relaxing

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pay to work. You have to pay in order to fly longer distances. Literally no point in downloading just set a timer and put your phone on airplane mode

15. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Glitching!. It kinda gets glitch when i open it and i keep having to delete and reinstall! Pls fix this.

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Cute app, forgot to cancel free trial and now paying for an app I don’t even have on my phone. I tried it and it was fun but I decided to not subscribe. It was fun but I can focus without the app. I deleted the app thinking I had cancelled the free trial but I forgot. I know that it’s on me but now I’m being charged for an app I don’t even have on my phone or use. I asked for a refund and it was denied twice.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Room for improvement. This is a cool concept and beautifully executed so far, but it has a lot of room for improvement as other reviewers suggest. There is currently no incentive to keep flying to focus. After the first flight or two, the novelty wears off, and it really just becomes a white noise machine. You should be able to “earn” mileage from studying, which you can use towards unlocking other features like new destinations, special aircrafts or seats. The slider on the time dial is really bad and takes like ten clicks to be able to drag the timer especially on desktop. There should be a better way to track your productivity and also shut down access to distracting apps. Would love some in flight announcements before takeoff and landing. There is so much potential for this app, but at its current stage, it is a glorified white noise machine and falls significantly behind the other productivity apps and the features they offer. I think the developers should take a look at how the other focus apps involving trees and pets operate. I hope the developers take all the reviewer feedback into improving the app.

    Love it except needs shorter flights or timers. Needs shorter timers (10 min) for people with adhd please this would be amazing

19. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Good Idea but Limited. Nothing more calming than flying to force you to do work, and I think this is a slick, beautiful looking app to help you do that. Sense of satisfaction is there after having completed a task. But I feel like it’s a bit lacking currently - I wish there was an altitude and airspeed meters. Maybe a break from focus could be implemented as an inflight meal service.

20. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Fake. I thought it was a fake but then it wanted me to buy

21. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Halfway There. It’s a neat idea, but it needs more work. Mainly, your flight status doesn’t synch between your devices. If you really want to use it to focus, this would be helpful. Also, the devs are entirely unresponsive. They open your email (read receipts confirm this) and just never answer. I emailed them well over a month ago and nothing.

22. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Incredible App, Could Use Some Work. I bought this app like immediately, its such a vibe especially being someone who bounces around to different timers to use for pomodoro method but I have notices some optimization issues throughout my use of the software on Mac and iOS when scrolling around or zooming in and out of the map with ui on the screen, could use some ironing out but otherwise I think the devs did a great job here.

23. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great App thus Far. ALERT! Once you sign-up, there’s no way to change starting location. I Just got the app, turned on location services and picked my local airport. I got the pro version as soon as I landed in Philly haha. I’m the person to stare out window during flights. I always try to find cool places that I’ve flown over on maps when I land. So I tried to change my starting location to my most recent flight to try to find this absolute unit of a house, only to find you can’t change it. + 2 stars if you fix this (perfect app). Super easy fix, if you need me to help lmk. I never coded but I’m sure I could assist in some sort of way to push this to the public. Thanks!

24. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Could be better. For 20 dollars (lifetime) I assumed some of the features would be a little better put together. The app is great looking and very functional but the looking out the window feature is not what I thought it was and definitely not worth 20 dollars. The app does have a lot of potential. For one thing a zoom ability on the map while following your icon would be cool, as would having customizable window scenes that correspond to where u are traveling. This could be done by having the standard map being shown in 3d sideways to your plane as you travel. All in all a great concept but not worth the money, free version is perfectly fine!

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paying. I don’t like the feature where u pay so much.i get that they made a good app for studying. But if some people really wanna focus but can’t afford that much how will they do?

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    THE APP IS GREAT. I really love the app btw! It’s so cool and easy. I like how y’all have the sounds and all. I just wonder if the timings on different flights to different locations can be added? And also I was wondering if like editing time would be great so that way we can see what time I or others could get things done! Other than that I’m putting this app to great use and I love it!!!

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Limitations. I need to be able to go from India to USA and beyond. Idc if it’s not realistic to work for that long. I will be expecting it with every update until it happens.

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    make it free. i wish it was all free.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Mostly a wonderful app idea but some things need improvement. It’s an alright app. There are still things that I think are missing. I wish it had more choices for noises to listen to while you’re flying. I was trying to use the function to limit use on apps while it’s on flight mode but it was doing anything. I kept giving them permission but it wasn’t letting me block apps. I really like the airplane vibe. It keeps me calm.

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Timers. I want more timer ops.
